Solution Overview

Problem

Current Internet interaction platforms lack effective methods to quantify and display user association relationships, limiting user engagement and interaction.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that establish and quantify user association relationships by generating an initial association value based on user interactions, displayed on the user's page, allowing for more detailed association information and increased interaction stimulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If user association relationships are not quantified, then the system maintains simplicity, but user engagement and interaction quality cannot be improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation degree measurementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces quantitative parameters (association values, interaction frequencies, weights) to measure and represent user association relationships. By changing the state of user relationships from qualitative to quantitative, the system enables precise measurement and analysis of association degrees, directly resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate computational mechanisms (association value calculation modules, weight assignment mechanisms) that mediate between raw user interaction data and the final association relationship representation. These intermediaries transform complex interaction patterns into manageable quantitative metrics, allowing precise measurement without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If detailed association information is collected, then user engagement can be enhanced, but information processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassociation information completenessVSAvoidprocessing energy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential and relevant features from user interaction data (interaction types, frequencies, and outcomes) that directly contribute to association relationship measurement. By selectively extracting key information rather than processing all available data, the system maintains information completeness while reducing processing energy requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the association relationship measurement into distinct components (different interaction types, weight categories, and calculation stages). This segmentation allows the system to process information in manageable chunks rather than as a monolithic task, reducing overall processing energy while preserving complete association information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a method and device for displaying information. A specific mode of execution for the method comprises the following steps: in response to the detection of a first preset operation performed by a first user on the page of a second user, sending operation prompt information to a terminal device used by the first user, the page of the second user being used for exhibiting contents shared by the second user, the first preset operation being used for requesting to add a user label corresponding to the second user for the first user, and the operation prompt information being used for prompting the first user to perform a second preset operation; in response to the detection of the second preset operation completed by the first user, adding the user label for the first user; generating an initial associated value used for indicating the association degree between the first user and the second user, and displaying the initial associated value on the page. The mode of execution realizes the provision of an operation portal for another user on the page of a user to establish an association relationship between the two users, and quantifies the association degree between the two users after establishing the association relationship.
